BUTTON-FLY CLAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,316, dated January1, 1884.

Application filed November 6, 18-3. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, ISIDOR FELBER, of Nyack, Rockland county, New York,have in vented a new and Improved Button-Fly Clamp,

of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.

The object of my invention is to facilitate the labor of scallopingshoe-button laps or flies, and to avoid the necessity of makingnailholes in the stock; and the invention consists of the construction,arrangement, and combination of parts, all as hereinafter described andclaimed. I

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a plan View of my new and improved button-fly clamp, showingthe method of using the clamp; and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of thesame.

A represents the base of the device, which i may be the top of a tableor bench. To this base A is secured, by the screws a a, the main castingB, which is formed with the overhanging arm or extension 0, throughwhich the screw D works. The arm 0 is formed with the side projections,b, which have the plain orifices 0 made in them.

To the lower end of the screw D is swiveled the clamp-plate D, which iscurved, as shown in Fig. 1, and formed or provided with the pins cl,which enter the orifices c, and thus serve as guides to the up-anddownmovement of theplate D in using the clamp.

In use the stock to be scalloped and shaped into button laps or flies isfirst properly placed under the plate D, as shown at E. The pattern F isthen placed upon the stock and the screw D turned by the handle D forbringing the clamp'plate D down snugly upon the pattern and stock, forholding the same while the stock is being cut and scalloped. In thismanner it will be seen that the necessity for driving nails through thestock is avoided, and that much labor and time are saved by the use ofthe clamp, and that the clamp is convenient and practical for itspurpose 5 and in order to prevent' the pattern F from coming incontactgu with the casting B, so as to become worn and injured, Iprovide the casting B, at its forward corners, with the cushions c e, ofleather,

held in place'in dovetailed recesses formed in the casting, as will beunderstood from the drawings.

. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. In a button fiy clamp, the casting B,having the arm 0, provided with the apertured side projections, 12 c, incombination with the screw I), working in said casting, and having theswiveled plate D, provided with the pins d, fitting into the aperturesof the casting projections i), substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

2. In a button-fly clamp, the plate D, swiveled to the operating-screw,and provided with pins d for guiding the plate, substantially asdescribed.

3. The casting B of a button-fly clamp, provided at its forward edgewith the cushions e e for protecting the pattern F, substantially as andfor the purposes set forth.

ISIDOR FELBER.
